Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,433 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, the Embraer E175 began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 36, utilizing 1,093 meters, or 33% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 350°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 15-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 1,803 feet above sea level to 31,002 feet, an increase of 29,199 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 7-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude, covering 172 nautical miles. The crew then initiated a descent from 31,015 feet to 4,068 feet, a decrease of 26,947 feet in 12 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at 3,993 feet, before beginning a final descent to 2,146 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The Embraer E175 then began its final approach to runway 30R at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the southeast. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, with a touchdown distance of 297 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -350 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 398 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 44 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,631 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Embraer E175 touched down on runway 30R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -350 fpm, slightly above the target. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 126 kt, which was a little faster than desired. However, the touchdown distance of 297 m was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 133 kt.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained perfect centerline alignment, a testament to the crew's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a headwind of 13 kt, presented a moderate challenge, but the crew successfully managed the aircraft's speed and direction. The total landing distance of 1,127 m was 46% of the runway length, a respectable figure considering the headwind.
The overall performance of the Embraer E175 was impressive, with a final score of 98.6%. The crew's ability to navigate the aircraft through the approach and touchdown phases with precision and control was evident in the perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment. The landing was a credit to the crew's skill and experience, and a testament to the aircraft's capabilities.
